[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is literally zero reason to take the day off (or to push the transfer back) if you feel you need to be at work the rest of the day of, OP. You'll be fine, truly, and so will your embryo. Please don't listen to these women saying, "oh, but if it doesn't work, you'll always wonder if it was your fault and regret it the rest of your life!" I know they're well-meaning but that is 100% wrong and even giving voice to it gives it a kind of legitimacy and place in all our minds it does. not. deserve. NOTHING you do is going at this point to affect whether your FET successfully implants or not. Your body is going to handle it all on its own no matter what you're doing. [b]Women have gestated and given birth to full-term babies in concentration camps, [/b]for God's sake, and the notion that a middle-class professional office worker is somehow going to wreck implantation by sitting at her desk instead of laying in bed for 24 hours is right up there with anti-vaxxer nonsense. And prepping yourself for potential regret is completely unproductive. One of the things I dislike most about the infertility process is how much grief and shame porn has been built up around it. Yes, it's normal to feel anxious, sad, or grieve for lost possibilities at points in the process, but there's definitely an element of frenzy that we sometimes whip each other up into that is not helpful.

Hang in there. Good luck, and I really hope this is a sticky one for you.[/quote]

I would like to add that this is a ridiculous argument since women in concentration camps are not paying tens of thousands of dollars to become pregnant and women popping out babies under those conditions are not infertile.  FET is a totally artificial process and it is good to follow the professional's advice (ie. your RE) that you are paying the tens of thousands of dollars to for the help to become pregnant. [/quote]
